Reliable Tamper Evidence for Pharma Pack...

Oberschleißheim, Bavaria, Germany - Schreiner MediPharm, a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative functional labels for the healthcare industry, is presenting an innovative cut-through indicator function that makes tampering attempts on closure seals clearly visible. Its special design enables flexible integration of the security feature offering an effective and cost-efficient solution for product protection and helping secure the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Tamper evidence is particularly important for pharmaceutical packaging. With the new cut-through indicator function from Schreiner MediPharm any tampering attempt by cutting closure seals open becomes visible—and cannot be made undetectable anymore. This solution effectively prevents the frequently used method of tampering with folding boxes, by cutting open the seal and reapplying it with transparent adhesive tape.

The cut-through indicator function is not designed as a standardized label but as a modular feature that can be integrated individually into existing or newly developed closure seals. The cut-through indicator function is customized to suit the respective seal and specific application. The single-layer structure enables flexible and cost-efficient adaptation to various materials and customer-specific designs. In addition, the function satisfies the highest security requirements for pharmaceutical packaging according to ISO 21976 and the European Falsified Medicines Directive 2011/62/EU.

Particularly conspicuous die-cutting contours with thin, long, and highly flexible strips make lateral shifting or defects caused by tampering attempts visible. Security features like raised structures and irregular outer contours can additionally be integrated and further enhance the protective effect. Likewise, special graphic design wishes can be included, such as guilloches as an added authentication feature.

Drugs that have been faked or tampered with pose considerable risks—both to patient health and to the image of pharmaceutical companies. Security of the supply chain plays a key role for pharmaceutical companies and patients because it is instrumental in helping prevent tampering and illegal exchange of original drugs. Schreiner MediPharm supports the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain with customized security solutions such as the cut-through indicator function. This ensures that medications retain their quality and efficacy and reach the patient safely.
